Picking the Perfect Treatments for Your Bridal Party

Ever been accused of being Bridezilla? Imposing crazy demands on your wedding party has everyone at their wits end. The best way to bring them all back to a state of peace is by showing your appreciation. Without the help of your dedicated bridesmaids, groomsmen or even the flower girl your wedding wouldn’t be what it is. Let everyone know how much you care by giving them a chance to unwind at the spa. For those of you with a wedding on the horizon, your gift of appreciation comes in the form of $50 treatments during Spa Week. With the help of our Everything Bridal Channel partner, The Wedding Channel, we’ve assembled a list of special treatments fit for every member of your bridal party below.

For Your Flower Girl

Little girls love feeling like grown-ups, so why not treat your flower girl to a working-woman fave: the “mani-pedi.” Painting her pretty fingernails and toenails a calm shade of pink or her favorite color will keep her grinning from ear to ear. Plus, since she probably won’t want to stay put for long, the 20 or so minutes it will take for her manicure and pedicure to dry shouldn’t leave her antsy.

Tip: If you plan to let her pick the color, be sure to get it approved by Mom first. In fact, it will be a good idea to invite her along too so there will be someone around to keep your flower girl under control while the rest of the group is being treated.

For Your Bridesmaids

If you’re looking to treat all your girls to the same experience, consider a group treatment. Many spas offer great packages for groups. We recommend picking one that provides cocktail service and a special relaxation room for downtime — that way, the girls can catch up and unwind together before and after their treatments. Massages are always a no-fail option, but if you want to treat them to something out of the norm, consider slimming treatments, those that use chocolate, or some sort of exotic scrub.

Tip: Before you book a risque or exotic treatment plan for the group, check with all the girls to make sure everyone’s comfortable with what you’re signing them up for. You’ll want to know if they have allergies to the products that will be used and if they’re okay with the type of procedure and the sex of the person who will be performing it.

For Your Groomsmen

More and more spa locations are catering to a man’s relaxation needs. Look for spas that offer a men’s lounge or special treatment menus for the guys. An intense back massage will certainly sit well with some of the guys, but choosing to gift them with shaves, haircuts, or scalp massages instead could be a more memorable treat.

Tip: The guys are far less likely to feel the need to head to the spa with the entire group, so if it’s too much work to get them all together, consider booking one-on-one appointments for each.
